Solgar Lecithin 95 Granules 227g

As a nutritional supplement it is a natural source of many nutrient phosphatides, including phosphatidyl-choline, phosphatidyl-inositol, phosphatidylserine and others. The most important physiological function of lecithin may be its role in cellular, mitochondrial and plasma biochemical processes. Phospholipids are important components found in the structure of all cell membranes. Lecithin, an important source of phospholipids, is necessary for all living cells in the human organism. Cell membranes, which regulate the nutrients that may or may not enter the cell, are largely composed of lecithin.
Without lecithin, the cell membranes would harden. The cell membrane offers protection against oxidative damage. Interestingly, the protective coatings surrounding brain and nerve cells contain phospholipids such as those found in lecithin. Muscle and nerve cells also contain this essential fatty substance.
Lecithin is a rich source of B vitamins, especially choline. Lecithin can be found in high concentrations in soya and egg yolk. Although lecithin is a fatty substance, it acts as an emulsifying agent, contributing to the breakdown of fats and cholesterol. It makes it possible for fats, such as cholesterol and other lipids, to dissolve in water and be eliminated from the body.
